Allergic rhinitis can be treated like sinus allergies by using the modalities of acupuncture, herbs, and sometimes massage. It will probably take 2-3 sessions a week for 4-8 weeks (depending on severity) to get your allergic rhinitis under control.
You might try to find an acupuncturist who deals with herbal formulas which can be very effective with allergic rhinitis. Otherwise, you might seek out an allergist and ask about testing for allergies and getting allergy shots.
